Gary Lewis Smith

I knew Gary and his brother Michael when we were stationed in Biloxi MS, we were classmates then and when my family was stationed in Ankara, Turkey. This truly makes you realize how small this world is. I have fond memories of our time in Turkey and going to school there. In reading his obituary it brought fond memories reading how he continue to be involved with the theater arts. Our time in Ankara was a magical time. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

The Smith family was a large part of what was made high school great. We truly made friends for life. Gary and Mike were great friends then - and I look forward to getting together with Mike to reminisce over the good times then, and more of what I missed out on over these past years.
Gary was a great friend. He was an athlete but took the time to help train me. He had a helpful way about him that I see carried over through the years.
He was one of those folks you just wish you could spend one more visit with and I will miss him.
Our high school classes are diminishing over time but these teammates, classmates, theater pals and friends from those days never aged in our sight but became treasured, loved, and highly-valued members of our greater family - for all eternity!
All my best wishes and God's comfort go out to Mike, Amanda, and their and Gary's families. Huge love from Memphis.

God bless you Gary and the entire Smith family. Please accept my deepest condolences. - Lynn Hoskins Wood , George C. Marshall High School, Ankara Turkey. Class of 1976

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.
